Aneurysms of the splenic artery are often undiagnosed due to lack of symptoms. Contrast CT scans are valuable for diagnosing these splenic artery aneurysms, especially when they present with abdominal pain or calcification.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Aneurysm of the splenic artery is an uncommon condition.
  • It is often asymptomatic and thus underdiagnosed in the general population.

Observation:

  • Three cases of splenic artery aneurysm are presented.
  • Two patients presented with abdominal pain, one with acute abdomen and shock.
  • One patient was asymptomatic, with the aneurysm discovered incidentally due to ring-like calcification.

Findings:

  • Splenic artery aneurysms can present with varied symptoms, including severe abdominal pain and shock.
  • Incidental discovery through calcification on imaging is possible.
  • Contrast CT scan is highlighted as a valuable diagnostic tool.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis of splenic artery aneurysms is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Contrast CT imaging should be considered in patients with unexplained abdominal pain or incidental calcifications.
  • Surgical resection and splenectomy remain key treatment options for symptomatic cases.
